Another season passes without a major trophy for Arsenal.
Mikel Arteta has made significant progress with the team since he took charge, yet they still lack silverware.
This season appeared promising, especially as Manchester City struggled. However, Liverpool surged ahead to clinch the Premier League title, and Arsenal’s impressive UEFA Champions League run ended in the semi-finals against PSG.
It’s worth noting that Arsenal won the FA Cup in Arteta’s first year. Ironically, it was achieved with what many considered his weakest squad.
Since then, Arsenal has not added to their trophy collection. They did win the Community Shield in 2020 and 2023, but that hardly compares to their previous success. While their current drought isn’t the worst—remembering the nine-year gap without trophies ending in 2014—it does feel like opportunities are being missed.
In that time, eight other Premier League clubs have celebrated trophies, some ending long waits or winning for the first time. Adding to the frustration, Spurs could soon join this list. Here’s a look at the teams that have surpassed Arsenal in terms of recent trophy wins.
Premier League clubs who have won a major trophy more recently than Arsenal
Crystal Palace – FA Cup, 2025
Crystal Palace ended a 120-year wait for a major trophy this year, defeating Manchester City in the FA Cup final.
Liverpool – Premier League, 2025
This was supposed to be Arsenal’s year for the Premier League title, but Arne Slot guided Liverpool to victory with relative ease in his first season.
Newcastle United – League Cup, 2025
This loss, although not as painful as missing out on the league title, still frustrates supporters. Newcastle beat Arsenal in the semi-finals on their way to capturing their first major trophy since 1969.
Manchester United – FA Cup, 2024
Amid the turmoil at Manchester United, they still reached finals. They won last year’s FA Cup and could add the Europa League title if they defeat Tottenham.
Manchester City – Premier League, 2024
This campaign may end without a trophy for Manchester City, but they won their fourth consecutive Premier League title last year, adding to Arsenal’s struggles.
West Ham United – Europa Conference League, 2023
West Ham’s victory in the Conference League shows that they can win European trophies, with Declan Rice as captain.
Chelsea – FIFA Club World Cup, 2021
Chelsea managed to win the Club World Cup just over three years ago, maintaining a short drought during the ownership transition that they hope to change soon.
Leicester City – FA Cup, 2021
Since Arsenal’s last trophy, Leicester won their first FA Cup, faced relegation, returned to the top flight, and were relegated again.
